(FT 3) Olympus to change the E-series nomenclature?

Share

It seems there is a small possibility that the next Four Thirds camera will be named under new E-system naming conventions.
Something Canon did with it’s 1000D and Nikon with it’s new D5000.
Please remember that we are a rumor site. We are not affiliated to Olympus or Panasonic. We get a lot of rumors which are sometimes contradictory. And we have learned in the past years that the big companies usually make last minute changes. That’s why we’re waiting before publishing rumors we have  so as not to confuse you!

UPDATE: A source claimed to know that the next classic four thirds camera will have an “OM” instead of a “E” signature.

A little bit of everything…

Share

I receive a lot of “rumors” these daysand most of them are garbage. I am still lagging behind with Panasonic news but I bet we can catch something big this summer. I am really interested to see how Panasonic will answer Olympus m4/3 camera.

I have received some emails with questions. Here are the short answers: No, I do not work for Olympus…Yes we have more rumors planned for the next days…No, I won’t reveal my entire name….Yes we really believe our rumors could be real….No! We are not freaking out!

So back to a little bit of everything, as you probably know the Fujifilm FinePix F200 has been reviewed by dpreview and NO! it doesn’t beat the Panasonic LX3. Quite surprising after the big Fuji announcements. It seems the first generation of their tecnology is not as revolutionary as expected.

For guys like me who go crazy for film there is the new Voigtlander Bessa III avaiable at cameraquest. Nice to see that film never dies. And please don’t start the discussion which is the better medium (digital or film). They are different media for different purposes and different philosophies. And remember the camera doesn’t make you a better photographer! Also, why am I getting so excited for the Olympus MicroFourThirds camera? Because I want a simple and fast digital medium which I can carry easily with me. I have a work trip in Australia planned for late July but my trusted sources already told me that probably I won’t be able to get the digital Pen camera :(

Thanks to all people who support us. We could not go forward without your help! Thank you all!
